Winsome Earle-Sears Reiterates Her Support for Trump’s Attacks on Virginia Jobs

Check out the following press release from the Democratic Party of Virginia on the latest evidence for why Winsome Earle-Sears should NEVER be governor of Virginia – these comments should be completely disqualifying. Also note that almost everything Earle-Sears said in this article is FALSE (although the paper just lets the lies slide – FAIL!), such as:

• “’I am glad that President Trump is getting to the bottom of all of this,’ Earle-Sears said of the president’s efforts to uncover waste, fraud and abuse in the federal government.” (What “DOGE” is doing has NOTHING to do with “uncover[ing] waste, fraud and abuse in the federal government,” it’s actually about DESTROYING the federal government!)
• “Earle-Sears said it is important for the federal government and DOGE to research how every tax dollar is spent.” (Again, that is NOT what “DOGE” is doing, and the newspaper should point that out to its readers!)
• “Earle-Sears touted the Virginia economy under her boss, current Gov. Glenn Youngkin.” (This is ridiculous/false; in fact, Youngkin has had *nothing* to do with the recovery of the US economy the past few years, and essentially nothing to do with the fact that Virginia – along with the rest of the country – rebounded from the COVID pandemic, etc.)

With that, here’s the DPVA’s press release.

New reporting from the Fredericksburg Free Press details Winsome Earle-Sears backing Donald Trump’s efforts that have put nearly 145,000 Virginians at risk of losing their jobs, saying Virginians worried about layoffs will be “all right.” This comes after Sears defended — and doubled down on — her support for Trump’s threats to Virginia’s workforce and economy.

Fredericksburg Free Press: Earle-Sears: Virginians will be ‘all right’ despite federal workforce purge

• [Sears] offered her thoughts on the purge of federal workers currently taking place under the leadership of President Donald Trump.

• “I am glad that President Trump is getting to the bottom of all of this,” […]

• In a brief interview with the Free Press after her speech, Earle-Sears made it clear that she supports the efforts of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), the advisory agency headed by billionaire Elon Musk under the president’s direction.  

• More than 144,000 federal workers live in Virginia, and the House of Delegates recently formed a bipartisan committee, that includes Del. Joshua Cole (D-Fredericksburg), to study the effects of federal budget cuts on the Virginia economy. The bulk of the federal workforce in the state lives in Northern Virginia, the region that accounts for approximately 40% of the state’s revenue.

• Fired federal workers, she said, should apply for private sector jobs in the Commonwealth.
